Terms of use
INTRODUCTION
The www.schott-store.com site (hereinafter referred to as the Site), is an e-commerce site, accessible via the Internet network, and available to all users of said network. It is edited by the Groupe JAJ company.
The Site enables Groupe JAJ (hereinafter JAJ) to offer for sale to Internet users browsing the Site (hereinafter referred to as Users) clothing, accessories, decorative items, cosmetics and leather goods which are in large part sold under the protected SCHOTT label (hereinafter the Products). For the purposes hereunder, it is agreed that the User and JAJ shall be referred to together as the Parties and individually as a Party, and that a User having confirmed an order shall be referred to as the Buyer. The User's rights and obligations shall necessarily apply to the Buyer.
The Products are intended for the User's personal use, having no direct relation with the User's professional activity. In this respect, the User's attention is drawn to the fact that the same User may order only five (5) of the same Products. Any order for more than the above number shall not be accepted.
Any order for a Product offered for sale on the Site implies reading and express acceptance of these general conditions of sale, which shall be expressed by marking the box «Mark this box to confirm that you have read and accepted the GCS».
In accordance with the provisions of Articles 1316 to 1316-4 of the Civil Code, as completed by Decree Number 2001-272 of 30 March 2001 relating to electronic signatures, the fact of having marked the box «Mark this box to confirm that you have read and accepted the GCS» after reading these general conditions of sale, as well as confirmation of the order as set out in Article 3.3 hereinafter, constitutes an electronic signature that, between the Parties, has the same value as a handwritten signature and constitutes proof of the order in its entirety and the payability of the sums due for the filling of said order.
The User may save or print these general conditions of sale provided he does not alter them.
ARTICLE 1 PURPOSE
The purpose of these general conditions of sale is to define the rights and obligations of the Parties arising from the on-line sale of the Products offered on the www.schott-store.comSite.
They govern the various phases necessary for placing an order and ensuring the monitoring of this order between the Parties. They shall apply between the Parties to the exclusion of any other document.
ARTICLE 2 PRODUCTS, PRICES, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
2.1 PRODUCTS
The Products offered for sale are those appearing on the Site on the day the Site is consulted by the User, within the limit of available stock. If any one of the Products is not available, the Buyer shall be promptly informed of this fact.
According to Article 1369-4, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Civil Code, «without prejudice to the conditions of validity specified in the offer, the person making such offer shall be bound by it so long as it is accessible by electronic means on his authority.» Accordingly, absent any conditions of validity specified in the offer, the offer shall remain valid so long as it is accessible by electronic means on the authority of the person making the offer. The unavailability of a Product should therefore be mentioned on the Internet site as quickly as possible.
2.2 PRICES
The prices of the Products are indicated in euros and are valid for all territories. They include the amount of French VAT applicable on the day of the order.
Any order placed on the Site and delivered outside of France may be subject to taxes and customs duties which are due when the package arrives at its destination. Any such customs duties and taxes shall be at the exclusive charge of the Buyer and under its sole responsibility. JAJ shall therefore not be obliged to verify and/or inform the Buyer of any applicable customs duties and taxes.
The prices indicated on the Site are guaranteed on the day of the order and within the limit of available stock.
Such prices are net of shipping costs, which shall be additionally invoiced and indicated to the User at the time of final confirmation of his order.
JAJ reserves the right to modify its prices at all times, which the User so accepts. Nevertheless, the Products shall be invoiced based on the prices in effect at the time of order registration, subject however to the availability of such Products.
